To think working class people are cleaner than middle class

[LardLizard]

Perhaps the mc people don’t feel they have anything to prove
But bloody heck some of them are scruffy buggers !!

Yabu

Eh?

Yabu and weird.

Who needs two holidays a year when you have twenty bottles of Zoflora under the sink.

Everyone get their stats ready on whether their towels/genitals/children are washed hourly/weekly/monthly.

Yes, absolutely. All of them. Every single one.

Yes. Upper class and working class have many similarities. The middle class doesn't want to associate with the lower class, and the upper class don't want to associate with them! The poor middle class 😟

Yanbu, dirty kids & houses

I think there is an old stereotype of working class people being more houseproud than aristocracy. Probably born from the idea the latter didn’t know how to clean their homes after the wars when having serving staff became less and less common and they’d never had to do so before. Plus their stately piles were rather large and time consuming to keep clean.

I’m not sure there would be much of a difference between working class and middle people in terms of house keeping habits in 2017.

I've sure I've heard that guy from Spandau ballet and EastEnders make the same comment, no joke.

Erm..what evidence do you have of this sweeping generalisation, OP?

Do ypu mean upper class?

Its true!
I always joke that its a good job I was able to claw my way into the lower middle classes- because in a million years I will never be respectable enough to be respectable working class.
My shitty housekeeping is a big part of this

Goady fucker.

This is certainly the stereotype. More specifically, working class and LMC (think Hyacinth Bucket) are very house proud while UMC and UC don't care. Suspect this comes from feeling you need to prove something, and from the fact that mess and dirt are harder to live with when you have limited space.

It's just a stereotype though. Am sure there are plenty of pristine UCs and minging WCs out there.

The great thing about the middle classes is their complete disregard for what the working classes may think

Nah I disagree OP... I shower daily, as does my DD and the cleaner does a FABULOUS job on my house!

alisv I never knew that!!

False
I have seen some hovels in my time across the board

I consider myself MC, mainly because I dont work. I also live in a slovenly shithole, like a pig in muck. When I die I want my epitaph to be, "When she was alive, she lived". When I die I do not want my epitaph to be, "She lived her her life on her knees keeping a nice clean house".

Yep, you are correct.

What an odd comment.

I think clean people are cleaner than non clean people mainly.

Through my job I have had the privilege to go into the homes of all manner of different people. The level of cleanliness in the house has absolutely no bearing on what social class the occupant feels themselves to be.
